History
Karin Tower was built to honor a great hero (it is neither stated who the hero was nor if was Karin himself, but in anime filler it was implied that this hero could have been Olibu). The "owner", Karin, grew Senzu in Karin Tower which he gave to the Z Warriors freely (that is, when he had some in stock).
Dragon Ball
Karin lived in Karin Tower. It was so tall that it took Son Goku an entire three days to reach the top the first time he climbed it. At the top of Karin Tower was a hole that fit Goku's Power Pole and served as a link between Karin Tower and the Heavenly Realm. It should be pointed out that it was made of a quite durable material and that the structure itself was hard to destroy. Bora and the rest of his tribe were located at the base of the tower as guardians.

Karin Tower appeared in Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure and Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge.
